I've had my car for over a year and have an inclination that it has been lowered. Just by visually looking at this pic, any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Yes. Maybe just the front. Look at the springs.

Hard to tell. Though it is easy to figure out. Look at the springs and see if they say swift or something on them

Well, I looked under the front and couldn't see anything. The rear has some black springs. It's pretty tight getting under that car to look at stuff. I do have some swift spring that I'm waiting to get installed.

I looked at a 2013 @ the dealership and it doesn't look as low...especially the front.

Sikky-borla combo is strong to quite strongs. Although my neighbors prolly don't care for it...

Looks stock to me. IMO the 08/09's on stock wheels don't have to be lowered. The later models 2010+ front wheel gap is a lot more.

Looks stock, but there really is no real way of telling by the pic. Best if you have a look from under. GL Bro!
